The Arctic Experience Gallery moved to its present location in the fall of 1993. Through a unique association with Janet McNaught of the McNaught Gallery, it now offers a full range of gallery products and services.
The gallery specializes in sculpture from Cape Dorset, Baffin Island in the territory of Nunavut. Inuit sculpture has long been regarded as the truly uniquely Canadian art form and Cape Dorset is home to some of the best artists working in the Canadian Arctic. Gallery The Cohens spent many years living in the Arctic and travel to Cape Dorset for frequent visits and buying trips.
The Cohens' terrific experience living and working amongst the Inuit people on Baffin Island transformed the gallery owners from collectors to dealers of this remarkable art form. Their frequent buying trips to the Arctic communities enable them to provide the gallery clientele with the very best quality works, selected to suit special requests and interests of the gallery clientele.
In 1993, the Arctic Experience Gallery formed a unique association with the McNaught Gallery, to provide similar high quality and value in Canadian paintings and prints. Paintings of landscape and nature form the major emphasis of the gallery, and provide a beautiful complement to the fine Inuit sculpture. Gallery director Janet McNaught represents celebrated professional artists from the local area and across Canada. The McNaught Gallery paintings enhance the vast display of Inuit Sculpture.
The galleries specialize in fine art export, and can make arrangements to ship your purchase anywhere in the world.
